Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 1,134 Blood-Stained Meng Mi (Part 1)

Just when the Battle of Degang reached a stalemate, more than a thousand soldiers of one and a half battalions of the 1st Brigade were designed to be surrounded by the new Japanese leader Major General Nakazawa in a canyon west of Degang, forcing the directly affiliated corps to stop attacking.

At that time, in Banmao, more than 100 kilometers away from Degang, Lieutenant General Tang Qiusheng, the deputy commander of the ** Division in charge of this combat direction and the commander of the Sulu Mobile Corps, began a general attack on the Nomura headquarters of the Japanese vanguard force.

.

Japanese commander Toshihiko Nomura paid a heavy price for his carelessness and arrogance. Three heavy artillery regiments and three rocket launcher battalions belonging to the Sulu Mobile Corps brigade of the ** Division joined the attack on the Japanese troops at the same time.

The artillery fire was rapid, and the overwhelming artillery shells fell densely on the marching columns of the Japanese army.

Smoke filled the air, fire flashed, shrapnel flew, and huge explosions echoed in the Banmao Valley. From the Japanese vanguard to the rear brigade, along the more than ten kilometers long route, there was a cloud of smoke, a sea of ​​fire, and splashes everywhere.

The sand, gravel and soil, especially the areas covered by rocket shells, are completely deserted, the soil and rocks are scorched, and not even a blade of grass can grow.

In front were the mines and bombs that overturned the ground, and behind was the intensive firepower of the First Brigade. They pushed the Japanese troops together with two hard strokes. Toshihiko Nomura took a look and understood that the Chinese army was trying to surround me and annihilate me.

ah!

Hiding behind a big rock, Nomura saw with his own eyes that a staff officer who reported the situation to him ten minutes ago was directly hit by a large-caliber grenade. In a flash of fire, the living person was gone.

Above, there was only a huge crater with smoke still rising.

This was the closest distance to him. In the distance, smoke and fire, gravel and soil blocked his sight. Officers covered with mud and whose faces were covered in gunpowder smoke looked like Stove Lords, rolling and crawling.

They came over to report the situation, and the content was the same. The Chinese troops blocked the forward and backward roads, and artillery fire covered the entire area.

Nomura gritted his teeth. He understood that if he could not stand out today, not to mention the troops who rescued Nayun, even he would have to lie dead in the mountains of northern Myanmar, with no access from front to back, and the area where the Chinese troops would focus their firepower.

Only by attacking both wings and tearing a hole can we gain a chance of survival.

Nomura stood up against the falling soil and sand above his head, and carefully observed the situation on both sides of Banmao Mountain with a telescope. Not to mention, the artillery fire of the Chinese troops was very fierce, but there was nothing unusual about the two wings of the shelling area.

situation,nomura

Suddenly, I had a strange thought, "Could it be that the Chinese troops who ambush the Imperial Army here are not strong enough, so they can only use artillery fire to kill a large number of our Imperial Army soldiers, instead of the typical tactics, after the artillery attack, they use infantry to attack our Imperial Army troops."

attack."

I don’t know why, but this thought, like a man possessed, was tumbling in Nomura’s mind, and he couldn’t get rid of it. Otherwise, the Chinese troops had been shelling for more than 20 minutes, why hadn’t there been an infantry charge? He used the fastest speed to

The troops who were still under artillery fire and unable to raise their heads were ordered to immediately launch attacks on the hills on both sides to get rid of the threat of artillery fire from the Chinese troops and seize the high ground.

Amidst the intensive artillery fire, the Japanese soldiers were first to execute orders, and more importantly, to get rid of the shells roaring overhead. They also discovered that the shelling was only concentrated within a narrow range of more than ten kilometers, with the hills on both sides

On top, not a single shell fell.

Nomura saw that the soldiers had climbed halfway up the mountain, and he became more and more convinced of his judgment. He didn't know if this guy was not smart enough or he was deceiving himself. In the world, that country's troops only used artillery instead of infantry to play the leading role in ambushes. But

Nomura would rather believe that the Chinese troops are too small to launch an infantry assault. This is also a practice often adopted by the cunning Chinese people. Perhaps, deep in Nomura's heart, this is the only place where hope can be seen in despair.

.

"Report to Commander, the Japanese army has begun to attack Ban Mao's flank positions," Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe reported to Tang Qiusheng, but Tang Qiusheng asked another question, "Yuhe, according to your estimate, the thirty-minute artillery attack

, can it cause a lot of casualties to the Japanese army?"

Zhao Yuhe replied with the rigor of chief of staff: "According to reports from the frontline units, the damage caused by artillery fire to the Japanese army is more than one-third." Tang Qiusheng calculated and said: "In other words, the number of Japanese soldiers who can launch an attack

The number will not exceed 26,000. Well, order the artillery to stop shelling, and the forward troops should immediately prepare for counterattack. This time, more than half of the Japanese troops must be left behind."

Nomura's heart almost jumped into his throat. The nightmare artillery fire of the Chinese troops finally stopped. His infantry had climbed to a position close to the top of the peak and had not heard the sound of gunshots. So, would anyone successfully break through?

possible?

Nomura pinned all his hopes on the soldiers. He no longer had any decent assault weapons in his hands. The tank brigade became the focus of China's artillery. There were nearly a hundred infantry reconnaissance assault vehicles, dozens of

A tank turned into a pile of scrap metal on the mountain road, emitting black smoke and dark red flames.

Nomura has finally seen what kind of assault vehicles the bureaucrats in the Imperial Labor Department equip the front-line troops with. A single large-caliber grenade can blow up several of these little bean-like vehicles.

If he could get away with it this time, he would return all the items to the logistics department.

The soldiers of the Sulu Mobile Corps, in their respective positions, looked coldly at the Japanese soldiers who were trying to dig up the mountain. The commanders of the various regiments of the ** Division all had different command styles. For example, Liu Tiehan was brave and good at fighting.

He loves to compete head-on with his opponents, and enjoys the thrill of a hungry tiger pouncing on food. In his heart, he has the toughness of a Northeastern person.

Tang Qiusheng's command style is very similar to that of his cousin Tang Qiuli. He likes to use strategies and ambushes. He always advocates winning by outsmarting him. He is like a falcon hovering in the sky. When he sees the opportunity, he pounces on him and takes a bite.

Therefore, the Sulu Mobile Corps still has experience and experience in fighting ambush battles. It stayed in Banmao for four or five days to prepare for this ambush battle.

The ambush position layout of the Sulu Mobile Corps is also very unique. The firepower between each firepower point can be cross-fired, and there is no blind spot at all. In some places where the firepower cannot reach, almost vertical cliffs are artificially built to attack one side.

, it was impossible to climb up, and the ** division was equipped with a lot of heavy weapons and was not afraid of the Japanese artillery, which would pose a threat to the blocking troops.

Mortars, light and heavy machine guns and submachine guns form a three-layer fire net with different shooting distances. Coupled with the precise sniping of snipers, within a distance of 500 meters from the fortifications to the front line, the layers of fire nets block the fire, which is a real bullet.

The death line formed was so tight that not even a mouse could get through.

The Japanese army crawled to about 500 meters away from the position. In the mortar position behind, the gunners had already picked up the shells, but there was still no order to fire. At 400 meters, Tang Qiusheng put down the telescope in his hand and said to Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe

: "Yuhe, it's time to start!"

In the Banmao Mountains, where the sound of artillery had fallen silent, a sharp whistling sound suddenly sounded from the highlands on both sides. Mortar shells like black storks rose to their highest point, then turned around and plunged towards the Japanese assault formation.

Halfway up the mountainside, smoke clouds rose up, and the Japanese soldiers who were shelled by shelling quickened their pace and rushed up the hillside crazily and instinctively.

Thousands of Venus appeared head-on, the sound of a heavy rain suddenly falling on the ground was heard, countless bullets were fired, and a metal storm blew up on the ground, hitting the bodies of Japanese soldiers head-on. Blood spattered, screams continued, and the huge kinetic energy of light and heavy machine gun bullets

, flying out upside down with the Japanese soldiers covered in blood.

The remaining Japanese soldiers had forgotten their fear and looked at the Japanese Army soldiers less than a hundred meters away with red eyes. They howled and rushed forward. A group of black grenades flew from the sky, risking "chi!"

White smoke with a hissing sound fell around the Japanese soldiers. Immediately afterwards, countless Chinese soldiers stood up suddenly, and the unique "click-click" sound of the Somi submachine gun sounded deafening.

The clearly layered and interlocking fire nets suddenly covered the Japanese soldiers who entered within 500 meters of the front line of the fortifications. After more than 40 minutes, there was no longer a single standing Japanese soldier in sight.

The corpses and wounded Japanese soldiers covered the hillside of Banmao. Tang Qiusheng's order was completely and completely implemented by the troops. More than 10,000 Japanese soldiers were thrown into the mountains and fields.

In just over forty minutes, under the excellent tactics and intensive firepower of the Sulu Mobile Corps, and the coordinated attacks, Nomura lost more than two-thirds of his troops. It has only been more than two hours since the battle started. First, there was a fierce attack.

The shelling, and then the sudden close combat fire attack, the Japanese army has been maimed, and the broken limbs of the Japanese soldiers are spread out on the front line of more than ten kilometers.

"Order, the tank troops start assaulting and destroying the remnants of the enemy," Tang Qiusheng issued the last order. Hundreds of tanks roared, with tongues of fire spitting from their muzzles. They attacked from the north and south. The end of the Japanese army was coming.

After dark, the Japanese troops no longer existed. When the soldiers were cleaning the battlefield, they found Lieutenant General Toshihiko Nomura, whose head had been cut off half by a shell from behind a big rock. His appearance was no longer visible beside him.

With the Chief of Staff and several senior officers, the ambush at Ban Maoshan ended successfully at around 6 p.m. that night.

Ban Mao, north of Degang, fought very smoothly, but Chang Feng's blocking force and Yu Guanghan's flanking force fought very hard on the Wubin line south of Degang, especially Chang Feng's frontal blocking force.

The casualties paid by the troops exceeded most people's expectations. In Degang, the battlefield was in a stalemate. Tang Qiuli's mind was involved in two aspects.
